Color-Coded Weapons

Description
The ultimate in try-hard modifications, this color-codes the marine weapons' world model to make them more easily distinguishable from each other during combat.

This affects both weapons being held by other marines (both friendly and enemy) as well as weapons dropped on the floor. It's also visible as a commander, so you can give your troops more strategic instructions based on the weapon loadouts.

Pistol - Cyan
Rifle - Blue
Shotgun - Green
Grenade Launcher - Magenta
Flamethrower - Yellow

Mines, grenades and other general projectiles have not been altered, cause that would be pushing it a bit far. There's nothing stopping you from doing it yourself though.

Planned Updates:
- Make them stand out from the orange glow of alien vision a bit more (this may break consistency checks)

OMG DIS CHEEING WOW STOP :-(((((((((((((

Oh man, I'm so glad I backed up all those bright alien skin mods. Now I get an advantage that other's can't get easier than me!

havent found a server that has blocked it yet, that allows mods of course. haha its really not that big of a deal though I didnt mean to sound like a dick there's a lot worse things.
nineballseraph: "I really don't understand how this would be cheating. all it does is make the weapons better to see on the ground" answers his question next sentence lmao. but not cheating, just changing advantages for each team. but idk i think its a nice mod if not for some of the coloring but good idea and I didnt mean to blow it out of proportion any hardcore or tournament server should blacklist most mods and have more extreme consistency checks.

@Dextronaut Having weapons glow in alien vision would most likely cause the mod to be blocked by consistency checks, so it would only work on certain servers anyway.

I really don't understand how this would be cheating. all it does is make the weapons better to see on the ground/in marine's hand. Seems stupid to flag this. In my opinion it sounds like a great idea.

the shotugn would be hard to see in alien territory, but I guess there would also be that bubble over it.

no well it really depends on how bright it is, it isnt TOO big of a deal but it could be. it depends Id have to check it out. but whats different from the other mods that recolor or reskin your weapon is this is changing the glow that emits from a weapon when it is dropped, aka when you can spot your weapons through walls. The one thing that raised concern with me is the "Planned update" of making the orange glow of them for alien vision stand out more, because thats changing the advantages for each team. This should be something implemented in a certain server, not by choice for each player.

It's really personal opinion with mods like this. Personally I don't think this gives much benefit outside of the commander position cause of how fast and easy the combat is anyway. Make of it what you want.

Flagging something like this is laughable btw.

So, all the other mods coloring the weapons are cheating, too? I mean, I have a red shotgun and a hello-kitty LMG. I can discern who's holding what easily. Is that cheating?
